Glazener Hybrid Stripers are relatively new to the list of appropriate private pond and lake stocker fish.  Thanks to a veteran fisherman named George Glazener, we are now producing and promoting advanced size hybrid stripers in the 8"+ size range for stocking ponds and lakes with existing predator threat.  Glazener is an expert fisherman with many years of Texoma striper fishing under his belt.  He is also credited for development of the "Glazener Spinster" fly and the use of jig-hooks for fly tying.  About 10 years ago Glazener was told by some official sources that hybrid stripers would not be good candidates for private pond stocking.  However, the fact is that they make a fantastic stocker fish.  Thanks to Glazener's vision and support, we were convinced to raise hybrid stripers to advanced sizes for pond and lake stocking.  We will forever appreciate the contribution that Glazener has made to the use of hybrid stripers in private waters.  

 

The Hybrid Striped Bass is a fantastic sport fish for most ponds and lakes. They will outfight, pound for pound, most any fish in the pond.  This fish is a cross between a striped bass (striper) and a white bass. Hybrid stripers are trained on floating fish food, live for up to about 5-6 years, and can easily grow to over 5 lbs in your pond or lake.  Successful natural reproduction does not occur with hybrid stripers in small lakes and ponds. Stocking rate can exceed 100 fish per acre if you feed high-protein pellets. We recommend stocking these fish as marquis species,  to help prevent the overpopulation of bluegill or crappie, and to add diversity and spice to the predator population. Hybrid stripers are top-end predators, schooling and feeding on forage fish and high protein fish food even when during the winter season. Hybrid Stripers are Todd Overton's personal dinner-plate favorite.  Stocking rate is typically 50-100 fish per acre.
